I am often asked how I stay happy and motivated all the time. The answer has two parts to it; positivity and self-talk.Many years ago I had a colleague who was forever complaining about everything and everyone in her life.

My energy is way too precious, and so I protect it. I only surround myself with people who are positively charged...more
